it's been fun to realize that 3 natural ingredients i have already can have so many uses. beeswax, coconut oil and almond oil have moisturized my lips, my leather boots...and now, the wood in my kitchen. i had a bit of extra leather conditioner (the recipe is in the leather boots link above) and decided to use it on my cutting board, spatula, and wooden spoons. they drank it in and after buffing with a cotton rag feel soft and smooth. nature feeding nature. it seems like it was meant to be. :)
